Story here. A young woman in Boulder makes up a story of an assailant in order to get her boyfriend's attention. Excerpt:

'BOULDER, Colo. -- A 20-year-old college student admitted to Boulder police that she fabricated a story about fighting off a knife-wielding black man because she wanted attention from her boyfriend, according to police reports obtained by 7NEWS.

Police on Thursday issued Nina Fiorillo a summons for false reporting after she admitted making up the story about being attacked while walking home early Sunday morning. False reporting to authorities is a misdemeanor carrying a maximum penalty of six months in jail and a $750 fine.

The University of Colorado student's bogus claim about an armed attacker at large triggered alarm in the community and an intense investigation by police detectives and patrol officers, according to 43 pages of police reports generated by the manhunt.'
